Click the picture above for a fun video on how to make a kid friendly red velvet cake in a mug.

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp All purpose flour

1/2 tbsp Cocoa powder

2 Tbsp Sugar

1/4 Tbsp Baking powder

Pinch of salt

3 Tbsp Milk

1 tsp White vinegar

1 1/2 tbsp Vegetable oil

3-5 drops red food coloring

2 Tbsp White chocolate chips divided

Confectionary sugar to sprinkle on top (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix together the dry ingredients

2. Stir in the wet ingredients

3. Add in 3-5 drops of red food coloring

4. Stir in 1 Tbsp white chocolate chips

5. Sprinkle remainder 1 tbsp White chocolate chips on top of batter

6. Microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds (we have a 1000 watt microwave)

7. Sprinkle with confectionary sugar and enjoy!

Notes:

1. The milk and vinegar is a replacement for buttermilk.  If you would rather use buttermilk then substitute the milk and vinegar for 3 tbsp buttermilk.

2. The amount of food coloring depends on what kind you use.  We used a gel which tends to be strong.

3. Swap out the white chocolate chips for peanut butter ones, or leave them out entirely.

4. Be sure not to over mix the batter as it makes the cake a bit tough.  The cake should be super fluffy!!
